DCF in Cairo, Egypt

[hambooso 0]

Hi everyone,

The US embassy in Cairo, Egypt requires a 6 months residency of the petitioner in Egypt before filing the I130 petition, here's whats on the website:

----------------------

Effective immediately, Consular section may accept Form I-130, Form I-360 and Form I-600 under the following conditions:

1- The petitioner is a resident of the consular district. The Consular section is allowed to accept I-130 petitions from U.S. citizens who reside within the consular district and have done so for the previous six months. U.S. citizens whose principal residence is not in the consular district, and/or who have entered the consular district as a temporary visitor/student/or with limited leave to enter and remain must file the petition with the appropriate USCIS service center in the United States or in their consular district of residence. The U.S. petitioner must provide appropriate evidence that he/she has permission to reside in the consular district or, if he/she is a member of the U.S. military stationed in the country, a copy for the petitioner’s orders.

2- The petitioner must have maintained continuous residency in the consular district a minimum of the preceding six months in order to demonstrate residency.

-----------------------

My question is, what are the documents and restrictions for the petitioner regarding the 6 months residency condition?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks

i think the 6 month requirement is only if you are filing directly through the consulate in Egypt. Otherwise, if you are filing through USCIS at whatever district you belong in the US then there is no residency requirement to go there and get married.
